This has been a nightly discussion for me at the dinner table and I'm pretty stuck on which path to take and my background knowledge is fairly limited.
I just finished 10 years in the Marines as a pilot and started working in the airlines in January. My idea was to find an asynchronous MBA program to do while I was flying to bolster my resume, use my GI bill and get an academic background in preparation for starting a small business on the side. I applied and got in to Ohio University (expecting to concentrate/"double MBA") in Executive Management and Finance, then with the remainder of GI bill get the certificates in entrepreneurship and supply chain management.
On a whim I applied to MBARice as well, cause why not. I live an hour from the campus so if I needed to face-to-face I could easily. But their program is "online" but has hard time for virtual classes which doesn't work with my sporadic flight schedule.
Then COVID hit. In a few months I fully expect to be furloughed with the industry potentially not recovering for 2-4 years. So now I am at a much bigger decision than I started with. I can stick with Ohio, wait and see if the furlough happens and when I get recalled I can still continue the MBA. OR, I have to prepare for a complete change in career and go to Rice.
I'm not sure what I would do in a career pivot, but I know I would rather make 80k a year working 40 hours a week then make 120k working 70 hrs over 6 days. Management, finance, operations and entrepreneurship all interest me and I think it would be more rewarding to be work a c-level position at a smaller company than a PowerPoint cubicle master at a Fortune 50.
If anyone can help me gauge the quality of an MBA from Ohio U (only 32 credit hours compared to most at 50+) that would be a great start. It's hard to get a feel for a business school that far from the top tier competitive publications. If I had the Ohio U MBA, how would that compare in a corporate job interview to a Rice MBA? Or is it mostly just who recruits on campus initially that makes the hiring advantage and after that it's just MBA vs MBA?
I know it's kind of open ended, but I'm looking for any and all info I can get.
